A FALLING DERRICK
Injuries Two Little Boys at Louisville,
This Morning.

LID Ia AOIhlhBs
LOUISVILLE, o., Dec. 9.-[Special. l.
tt is morning about $3.50 o'clock, while
II ntOn Brothers were tearing down
the old rink, at this place, preparatory
to Iemoving the lumber to the Empire
Tie Company's place, derrick became
lC ose from its fastenings and fell to the
! 0 tom of the building, striking a son
OF Charles SOnier, aged 13, on the head
causing a wound in the scalp about six
inches long. Before striking the bot
tom the beam fell on a pile of rubbish,
partially lessening the force of the fall
A brother of the former lad, aged ten,
was also struck and had his leg badly
fractured just above the ankle. Both
boys belong to poor family and were
in the building at the time picking up
old nails. The little sufferers received
the best of treatment under the care of
Drs. j. P. Schilling and Pontius, and
at this writing, 2 p. m., are resting as
we'll as can be expected.
In falling, the derrick struck Mr.
John o. Myers, one of the proprietors
of the Tile Works, but he escaped with.
out injury. Two sons of Mr.. Nick
Merle were also in the building at the
time, but beyond few scratches, they
escaped uninjured. If the force of the
Gerrick's fall had not been broken by
the pile of rubbish, the Sonier children
would have been crushed to an unrec-
ognizable mass.
